Rune de Medici
Early Life
Rune de Medici was born the first child of Lorenzo de Medici and Serena, his wife. He was raised a prince of vampires. Rogue Murders (Taos) When Rune was barely more than a fledgling, there was a string of murders seemingly committed by rogues. He was sent to investigate the murders and ended up tailing one of the suspects into a brothel. To avoid looking suspicious, he purchased the services of a young man without any intention to use him. The young man, Taos, agreed to allow Rune to feed off him, since Rune wasn't aware that even one fanging could leave some people dependent on rilium. He left, but felt drawn back to Taos, eventually offering him a relationship that was the foundation for modern Kirill-Source relationships. Taos was with him when he finished the Rogue Murders. Death of Hero Medici (Falling Star) Rune went with his brother, Michel, to the funeral for Michel's runaway wife, Hero Medici. He saw her two children, Angoyoanye (Michel's son) and Adrienne (not related to them), and noticed that they looked in poor health, along with the young boy with them. After returning briefly to Noctis House to drop off Michel and get Taos, Rune returned and asked the two to come to Noctis House with them. They agreed, but once there, Adrienne did not wish to become immortal and Angoyoanye didn't want to have to watch her die. Rune, who was developing feelings for Adrienne, offered to let them stay anyway. The Akmana Affair (Falling Star) After the death of Lorenzo, Rune took over control as the High Lord of all vampires. Soon after, Adrienne was kidnapped by the High Demon Akmana. Rune, Taos, and Angoyoanye went after her, but Rune was grievously injured in the process. He was forced to stay behind, sending Angoyoanye (now a vampire) and Taos (who Rune couldn't turn into a vampire for some reason) in his place. Taos returned to him with Adrienne and the news that Angoyoanye had sacrificed his freedom. In honour of his sacrifice, Rune declared that, if Angoyoanye returned, he would become Rune's heir. The Demon Wars (Falling Star) After Akmana's attack, Rune declared war on the High Demons. He, along with Michel and Catherine, died in the conflict. |
